title = "Anticipating relocation: Concerns about moving among NORC residents",
abstract = "Most older adults prefer to live at home as long as possible, requiring supports and services to help them age in place. This study examines the relocation concerns of a group of older adults in a suburban naturally-occurring retirement community (NORC). Twenty-six percent of the 324 residents interviewed expressed concern about having to move in the next few years. Residents who were worried differed from those who did not worry on a number of demographic and biopsychosocial characteristics. Overall, residents present a profile of vulnerability that calls for preemptive action to help them stay in their homes. A NORC is an ideal setting in which to provide supportive services.",

note = "Funding Information: Support for this project was provided by the Administration on Aging (90AM2612) and the State of Missouri in grants to the Jewish Federation of St. Louis, by the Harvey A. and Dorismae Friedman Research Fund at Washington University in St. Louis, and by the Washington University Center for Aging. This study was facilitated by the Jewish Federation of St. Louis Naturally Occurring Retirement Community (NORC) team under the direction of Dr. Stephen Cohen and Coordinator Karen Berry Elbert, who provided logistical support during the recruitment and data collection process. Many undergraduate and graduate students in the departments of Occupational Therapy, Psychology, and Social Work conducted in-home interviews. The authors also wish to acknowledge the gracious contribution made by all the participants in inviting interviewers into their homes and sharing their thoughts and concerns. Finally, two anonymous reviewers provided thoughtful comments that helped clarify the presentation and interpretation of our findings.",
